mo man ever understood the in
terror department" said prominent
official in that department the other
day, 'as Solicitor General jerks did
when he was assistant secretary to Mr..
Lamar. | never saw anything like
it. He called one division chief after
another to his room, asked him to be
seated, gave him supposititious piece
of business in his particular division,
and made him describe every process
through which it would pass before
leaving the division to 60 to the secre-
tary. Every paper, every record,
every Endorsement, the time required
for each step-the whole thing was
called for as carefully and infinitely
as cross-examination could get at
it. Some of the boys fiunked the first
thing. Then jerks smiled around
his eyes and gave them one of his
goOd-natured Scotch lectures on
thoroughness, and sent them back to
study up their own work until they
could tell all about it.
81 can't describe how this is done +,
one would say, but know how to do
it and do it a thousand times a
week."
Never mind, was the answer /;
chains are no stronger than their
weakest link. No man knows what
he can't tell unless he is dumb or
under oath of secrecy. Go back and
learn your work so well that you can
tell what it is"
"Mr. Lamar's office methods are
quite oriental. 1t is good deal as
though he bowed to the east, praised
Allah, shut his eyes and reached out
for the first paper he could find with
out looking. He is fond of taking up
a case, going half through it, and
then setting it away 10 see, as he says,
'if it won't get sour over night That
accounts for the hit and miss way in
which some of the business before him
is turned out so promptly, while other
equally obvious matters wait months.
Lamar is good deal at the mercy of
all the ignorance, negligence and de-
sign of all his subordinates. Every
body was afraid of jerks"

Kate Field indicate that talented
and pertinacious young woman is
travelling leisurely through northern
Kansas and Nebraska, enjoying the
scenery and ever and anon tackling
'the Mormon monster" by way OF
helping out expenses. The truth is,
however, that Miss Field is probing
the mysteries of prohibition. While
in this city she crossed over to
Wyandotte and bought a bottle of
brandy for scientific or mechanical
purposes, and tried it on a cOckroach
with Immediately fatal results. She
has sent that brandy east to be
analysed, and has come to the conclu-
sion that prohibition is a monster of
deceit and iniquity, The next time

Yesterday mornings services at St.

bible reading by Major Cole on the
work of the Holy Spirit, after which
followed the usual services, Mrs. ThOs.
Porter being the organist and leading
the singing. The meeting was closed
promptly at IL o'clock.
The w. G. T. U. then held a pray
er meeting for the success of prohibi-
ton in Michigan, where the vote was
being east on that amendment. The
meeting was conducted by Mesdames
Richardson, Goldsbury and McInire.
Major Cole prefaced his sermon at
Music Hall with special prayer for
divine guidance in his speech. The
address was effective, the speaker
dwelling upon the terrible conse-
quences of neglect, which he illustrated
with incidents especially adapted to
the subject. He spoke forcibly of the
foolishness of saying what We think as
contrasted with what God SAYS.
What we think does not alter the fact.
In conclusion he called for volunteers
to do revival work among the audi
ence, and there was liberal response.
During the service of song and prayer,
there were several conversions. The
total number of professions now
amount to over 800. Among the
ministers present last evening We're

hair-my mothers. 1t connects me
with her. Doubtless my little hands
lay upon her head. She nu,sed me
upon her bosom. All my life she has
been my stay. To me that lock of
hair is worth more than gold or jewels.
To my outward and physical man
perhaps it is not worth anything, but
to my inward man, my sentimental
nature, it is without price. All pre-
cious things could not equal it. /

rear of the train was attached the
private car of President Roberts, con-
tanning James @. Blaine and party.
A great crowd had assembled at the
depot, and as the distinguished visitor
stepped from the car a ringing cheer
burst from the assembled multitude.
and hats were waved and thrown high
in air in enthusiastic greeting. MIR.
Blaine bowed to the right and left,
and was evidently greatly pleased by
the warmth and spontaneity of his re-
ception. He was received by Mr.. r.
G. Kerens, who conducted him TO his
carriage, and the party drove to t e
Lindell Hotel, where rooms had been
prepared. Here the greeting he re-
ceived was as warm, althoug h less
vociferous AS the carriage drew up
before the ladies' entrance, a line of
interested spectators formed on the
sidewalk, while the ball and reception
room were filled by a throng of gentle
men, who, with uncovered heads.
made way for the party. At the door
of the Lindell Mr.. B aine was receiv-
ed by Gen. ID. P. Grier, who, to-
gether with Gov. E. O. Stanard, Mr..
John M. Booth, Mr.. Web NJ. Samuel
and Mr.. Alex. III. Smith. had been
deputed as a committee by the Presi-
dent of the Merchants Exchange, to
request Mr.. Blaine to honor the Elk
change by a visit. Mr.. Blaine was
conducted to his apartments, and a
few moments af er his arrival the de-
putation waited upon him, and pre-
terred their request, stating that they
hoped the distinguished visitor would
find it convenient to visit the Elk
change, and speak to the citizens on
matters Of public interest. The in
vitation was given by the merchants
of the city, entirely irrespective of
party, who greatly desired to make
the acquaintance of one who had
borne so conspicuous a part in his
country's history, and to have the
privilege of listening to what he might
have to say upon the financial and
commercial condition of the country.

Sedalia's Boom.
st. Louis Republican.


Hon. Phil E. Chappell, of Sedalia, regis
tered at the Laclede last night. "Sedalia's
boom grows" he said, ''but it is good and
solid and has come TO stay. People are
recognizing that SedaIia has bright fu-
ture before her and they are not afraid to
invest their money in Sedslia property. Real
estate transfers have been especially
heavy during the past week in fact, /
think the sales for the last week have ag-
gregated more than those of all the year
previous. Some of the purchases have
been made for investment, but the MAORI
ity were for improvement. Several tracts
In the southern suburbs were sold this last
week, which / suppose will be cut up into
lots. Business in every way is keeping
pace withssthe real estate, and you might
say that Sedalia is experiencing general
boom. We appreciate the fast mail cut
there. We get the st. Louis Republican
at breakfast, and we get our New York
mail practically twenty-four hours earlier,
as We formerly received it at 4 p. M, too
late for banking hours.
